Grass Valley woman arrested following suspected DUI collision

A Grass Valley woman was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence following a Tuesday evening collision that injured one person in Nevada County.

Anastasia Torres, 40, was driving a 1997 Mercedes sedan south on Rough and Ready Highway, north of Highway 20 near Penn Valley, about 6:20 p.m. when her vehicle crossed the double yellow lines and collided with an oncoming 2012 Toyota Tacoma pickup truck, according to a California Highway Patrol news release.

The collision caused the pickup, driven by 48-year-old Christian Nasralla of Grass Valley, to run off the east edge of the road and overturn in a ditch, the news release said.

Nasralla suffered minor injuries and was taken to Sierra Nevada Memorial Hospital in Grass Valley.
